Not that it's realistic but outlawing political parties altogether, which should have been done in the first place, is probably the most effective solution here along with a Constitutional amendment requiring paper ballots with specific rules about auditing and supervision. This would solve the very serious problem of lax campaign finance rules allowing all kinds of ridiculous stuff like SuperPACs and the whole bribe K St. / J St. influence peddling lobby culture.

The problem we see over and over with "infiltrating" the GOP to overpower the corrupt deep state types is that humans are fallible and for the most part easy to corrupt and/or manipulate.

Also, what happened to Ron Paul during the Iowa caucus and later in the campaign with chilling effects of his delegates and supporters is pretty much status quo for those types. I think it's better to just starve the beast with civil disobedience and mass cancel-culture action vs. big tech. And constant meme warfare.
